Default lt1 keeps stalling

Hey I have a 94 camaro and it stalls on me randomly. I put a new coil and ICM in it and it still does it. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

search around a bit... codes, how old is the optispark?, miles, last tune up, fuel pressure, mods.. etc etc.

There are no codes. I took it into a shop and they couldn't find anything. It has 99000 miles. Only mods are CAI and exhaust. Not sure on fuel pressure bc I don't have a gauge. Not sure on the tune up I've only had it for 4 months. It seems to happen at lower rpm like when I put it in neutral to turn or have it in gear and am just idling. Sometimes it starts right away but most of the time it just turns over and wont startThere were only 3 prongs on the wire going to the coil is that normal?

Not sure on the prongs for the coil...it should have a harness connector. Youre gonna need a few basic tools, a FP gauge being one of them. Just off the cuff, it sounds like the optispark could be giving you trouble. I had the same symtoms as you, plus a few others when mine was on the way out. Not saying thats the problem, but it might be...also fuel filter maybe and alot of other ignition or fuel related possiblities. You may need to start looking at different parts, wires, plugs, vacume lines etc etc, to discover the issue or issues. There are ways to check all the components in the ignition system as well as the fuel system. Check out http://shbox.com/1/4th_gen_tech1.html

FP gauge will be here tomorrow. I crawled underneath last night and the opti has a fair amount of oil on it. Could this be the problem?
